Just Until I Have Something More Interesting...

 Life is pretty boring at the moment, soooo here's a video...just cuz I have nothing to post. Me and Brianna are working on a segment on a volunteering job we did, which turned out to be hilarious and really fun. Enjoy, and know that I miss you guys!! I will be back soon. Promise.

Mee Lil' Bro

  My Little Bro Seth. He's  a goof if there ever was one, but he has a big heart. He enjoys playing. A lot. Like, more than I have ever seen a 12 year old boy play. It's pretty funny.

Lord of the Rings is one of his favorites. Here are my brother and sister's capes that my mom made for them. They are...unique.

He also love legos, and anything Tennessee sports. Life is orange and white to him :)

I envy him for his....wait for it... eyes. They are so blue!!! And his eye lashes are so dark and full. He's a boy. This shouldn't be happening. But oh to steal those eye lashes!!

He loves doing impressions (The Joker from Batman is a frequent caller to our house). He can also memorize just about any slogan for any company. It's fun to quiz him.

Seth loves people and God. Loves fishing, and loves being a boy. He pretty much loves everything...except Paramore, Flyleaf, and Skillet. Yah that is pretty sad.

Like I said he's a goof. Always making jokes, playing to himself, and just being silly. He's pretty content though. You can leave him alone for hours and he can entertain himself. He's pretty easy to babysit :)

He's my little brother by 3 years, and the one I grew up playing with. Maddie was always so young when I was little we didn't do too much playing. Seth and I explored every corner of our backyard (we have lived in this house for 15 years), and every corner of our house.

Seth. He's a great kid.

 

July Birthdays!

 Here we go....I am going to forget someone. Please if I missed you, comment and tell me. Here goes! Kaitlin, Alli (my cousin), and Rylie (my other cousin) all on the 1st, Jackson (6th), Me (7th), and Julia (11th). I think that's it. So happy birthday to all ya'll!!

The Little Things

 The little things are what make me the happiest...for example, when a friend knows you are struggling with something, and tells you how much she cares for you and that she is there for you. AH so wonderful! That isn't very little to me, but it's just something that helps!

 The little things that God puts into your life are sometimes the things that stand out most. At Advance, a group of people all got together and just sang. Two guys on guitars, and like 6 girls all singing in harmony, praising God. I was one of them, and let me say it was very refreshing just to sit and sing to the Lord with a bunch of your friends.

 The times that I have goofing off with my family. We were riding in the car on Monday, just running errands, and ended up laughing and cracking jokes. Listening to music, dancing around. Those times are great :) My dad loves to listen to 80's music and reminisce....and he loves it when I listen to it as well. I'm not much for it sometimes but it can be fun.

  I could sit and talk all day about how happy I am with just the little things to satisfy me. Love em'! God knows exactly what to throw my way. Love that He loves me. Love that He cares enough to do the little things for me.

  Just kind of rambling right now, and I need to get ready to leave. My mom's car is in the shop, and we are going to pick it up. See ya'!

 P.S. My spelling is awful!! Tell me if I spell stuff wrong please :)

We're Back!

  Hey Ya'll!

  We are back from ADVANCE 2011! And let me tell you...it was epic. The messages were challenging and inspiring. The games were hilarious. The competition was, understandably, competitive. The white water rafting was quite the adventure (our boat got stuck for 20 minutes, and everyone else from our group had to wait for us). And the lake/blob was a lot of fun.

   My favorite part was the extended worship on Friday (I think it was Friday) night. It was so amazing. The presence of God was felt. My friends and I prayed for each other in a not so small group (have I mentioned how amazing my friends are :)?), and there was not a dry eye in the place.

  Well, I'm glad to be back, and I'm sure that Brianna has plenty of pictures to follow :) See ya!

  -Bailey

Randomness...again.

 I am done with school. YES.

Whenever I tell someone I'm home schooled, they usually look like they have been slapped by a leprechaun.

Advance is in 5 days. OMIGOSH. It seems like we just came back from last years.

My friend Arianna has a gift. Whenever she listens to Christmas music...it gets cold. Or snows. That post where I said it was 50 degrees? Yah that was after she listened to Christmas music.

I had candy for breakfast (NOT USUAL!! I have never had candy for breakfast before, nor do I plan to.)

I am not planning on playing any sports in the summer. Man I will stink for the  regular season swimming!

My family and I went to a really beautiful wedding last night. It was a lot of fun :)

I am so bored, I can't think straight! It's a Saturday when my family doesn't want to do anything.

I had a dream last night that I went to San Fransisco. It was really awesome.

I am going to get off now...but I will leave you with an awesome music video. Enjoy.

 -Bailey

ps. It's 5 days to Advance XI. Just to remind you ;)

  

Neeley, Brianna, and Me

   This weekend, Brianna, our friend Neely, and I went to a wedding. It was so much fun! And they had some decorations outside that were so cute, we just had to take advantage of them :) Hope you enjoy!- Bailey

 p.s. We all took turns taking pictures, so you got a little bit of all of our styles ;)
 

                                                  

Goofy Quiz #<:-)

  My smiley has a party hat if you are wondering what that is. My mom was looking at an email, and she was like, "What is that?". She was looking at this: :-0. That is a smiley with it's mouth open. But you knew that.

 Ok rambling. LOL. Anyway, here's this goofy quiz that I took, and if you want to take it too, just email me your results, and I might post them on the blog if they are funny enough! littlepurpleipod@gmail.com

• What song do you have stuck in your head? Well, um...haha I actually have the Potter Puppet Pals stuck in my head. :p
• Describe your personality....in colors. What? Well I am going to say red. Not the angry type of red. The bright, happy, yet stubborn type. Lol. yah.
• What color was your hair when you were born? Yet another, "Huh?". It was blond. Very blond and very fuzzy. Hehe I was pretty cute, and the only baby in the family born with blond hair.
• If you could be any animal, what would it be? Probably a horse, or a hawk. Not really the eagle type...I love em' but I don't have the powerful dominating attitude. I mean I don't, right?
• What words do you say to much? Hehe, I say well way to much. And LOL. A few more are like, awesome, Batman, moderately, OHMIGOSH (if that counts :p), yikes, and shoot. Like the frustrated shoot, not the bank raid kind.
• Favorite superhero? Do I need even say it? BATMAN!!!!
• Who is your worst nightmare? Mushu. The little dragon from Mulan. Remember? "Who are you?!" ..."Your worst nightmare." You have to watch the movie to get it.
• If Mozart were alive, what would you say to him? YOU ARE AMAZING. *He runs off screaming. JK. I would probably say something along the lines of, "Your music is amazing, you are a genius, and you still screwed up your life. You need Christ man." Maybe a little bit more humbly, but you get the picture.
• What was your fave toy as a kid? Sticks. No joke. I loves to play Lord Of The Rings with my sibs. Aw those were the days.
• Fave music video? Oh goodness. Idk....I cant choose!!! Probably "Playing God" by Paramore. That was the last video their old drummer and guitarist (the best parts :'( ) were in. Sad, yet so good.

   Enjoy ya'll! Send me those quizzes! I need a laugh.

May Birthdays!

      Ok ya'll time for May! I might forget some, but you'll fogive me right? Anyway here they are!
   Neeley (14th), Cody (2nd), Justin (8th), Alyssa (14th haha thats cool! Neeley and Alyssa share a b-day), Josh (19th), Melanie (21st), and Analisa (22nd)! Congrats to all our birthday kids! Yes, they are all under the age of 17. :p -Bailey

Cody's Parody

This is Cody, one of my friends from church. Dude, he is so stinkin' funny!! I love this vid he and his sister Melanie made. This is for your daily roll in the floor laughing. :P Watch the bloopers at the end. I am like giggling as I write this, cuz' I just watched it and i'm still recovering. Oh wow. Anyway enjoy!
-Bailey
P.S. I know I posted like 10 seconds ago, but this was just what I needed, and I thought I would share it with you. Wow, that was a run-on sentence. :p

Friends

  My friends are so goofy. You just gotta love em'. I have all kinds of friends, and I love all my friends. They are so special to me, and they are such a big part of my life.

    I LOVE goofing off and being silly with them.  These girls (and the one taking the picture :P) are some of my best friends. (From left to right: Arianna, Alex, Kaitlin, Sarah, Amanda, and Me.) This was at Advance (our youth group retreat.), as are all the other pics I will put in this post.

   The bonfire. Ahh that was fun. (From left to right: Front row-Melanie, Josh, Grant, James, Josh and Collin [standing]. Back row-Brianna, Kendall, Me, Amanda, Sarah, and Analisa.) It didn't last long for me...I got kinda sick. It's a long story, and I get sick every year on the last day. But I really don't care. My friends make me feel better. :)                                       
          While playing cards. (Left to Right: Kaitlin, Kendall, and Blaise) Egyptian Rat Slap is the name of the game in Relay. We love to play it and get very competitive :)

      There's me with my tongue sticking out, as usual. Arianna (right) and Alyssa (left). My BFF's!! Well 2 of 7. Yah I have a lot of best friends, but 4 are sisters. I feel better if the are all in one family. Idk why, but you know, I just feel a little selfish having 7 bf's! Oh well. 

                  And this is pretty much our whole youth group! Aren't we awesome?! Jk. Well we are, but I don't want to be prideful. Anyway, these people are all my friends. But more importantly, they are my family. These are my brothers and sisters in Christ. I love them all like they are my brothers and sisters!! My friends mean so much to me and they don't even know it. You know who you are! So pat yourself on the back, cuz' you're a great friend!! Make sure to appreciate your friends, cuz' they deserve it. Have a great day! -Bailey     

April Birthdays!

Ok, I know it's late, but I will forget this tomorrow. We have some birthdays we would like to bring to attention! Brianna (the 12th), Lydia (today!), Jacob (the 19th I think), Madison (also the 12th), Sarah (the 9th), and Ameena (the 13th)! I think that's everyone, but Brianna feel free to correct me by editing the post. We will do this every month now, because birthdays are important. Please, leave a comment with your birthday on it if you feel comfortable. We would love to add you to the list! Have a great Easter weekend!
 In Him,

   Bailey :)

Spring is Here (part 2 :p)

Ahh spring. Rapidly turning into summer, getting to 90* spring that is. Haha! Anywho, these are some pics I took about 2 weeks ago. Hope you enjoy!

Ah...towels out on an old fashioned clothesline.

 

My dog, Chelsea. She could play fetch for hours!

                                 Chelsea (the blond) and Buffet. Too cute, huh?

                                          You may think this is a pointless  picture, but aren't the shadows cool?
I don't have a very good camera, so they didn't turn out like a professional, but I still like them! -Bailey

Finally!

Pictures are here people!! It took me forever, but hey, they're here now! Anyway, these were taken from two beautiful fields near my house. (Yes, I live in a beautiful area of the country.) My mom took the ones of me and my sister together, but I took the rest. Oh yeah, just to specify that is my sister :) Enjoy! -Bailey
